Info for The Lost Concert (Live at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, 1995 - Remastered)

The concert marked 40 years since Pavarotti and his fellow choir members from Modena won First Prize in the Choral Competition at the International Eisteddfod in 1955. Before a packed Pavilion crowd, Pavarotti reflected: “Forty years ago, my God — it seems to be just yesterday for me. I have done so many things. I always say to the journalists when they ask me what is the most memorable day in my life, and I always say it is when I won this competition, because it was with all my friends.”

Conducted by Leone Magiera and recorded with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Pavarotti performed with the Corale Rossini, and soprano Atzuko Kawahara. The recording features seventy-five minutes of a remastered programme with operatic arias from Cavalleria Rusticana, Il trovatore, Macbeth, Manon Lescaut and La traviata, and popular Neapolitan song. The collection also features two tracks, “Bonjour mon cœur” and “In Nomine Jesu,” recorded in 1955, thought to be the earliest recordings with Pavarotti – plus a special audio interview with Pavarotti recalling his choir’s competition win.

“There was something so poetic in the idea that, after conquering the world, Pavarotti chose to honour a promise made in his youth,” said Amy Freshwater, Executive Producer and VP, Catalogue & Acquisitions at Mercury Studios. “We’re privileged to represent Universal Music Group’s vault of performances, but it’s not every day that a concert resurfaces after 20 years by one of the world’s greatest artists. This was a full-circle moment of nostalgia and artistic grace, so we knew the only way to release to the ‘Lost Concert’ was to reveal Luciano’s promise and share the full story with the world.”
